Photography was always a "high in importance" item when planning my wedding. However, the wedding that happened was not even close to what I had in mind. It was better, thanks to Katie. I don't feel like I found her, I feel like she found me wh...

en I, unknowingly, needed her most. Yes, she is very talented, technical, and professional - she checks all the boxes regarding what you may be looking for in a photographer. But she will give you more of what really matters most - Unforgettable, Organic, and Breathtaking Memories. Katie takes you beyond the beautiful photos she takes. She is Brilliant.

Katie was absolutely amazing to work with! I had a lot of anxiety surrounding getting my picture taken, especially with the added pressure of the pictures being of one of the most important days of my life! But Katie helped ease my anxiety righ...

t away. After seeing the pictures, I felt beautiful, truly. All of the guests were so impressed with her, too. Everyone kept commenting on how they saw her working away to get as many pictures as she could. She was also so creative with her pictures! I also have to mention how touched I was that she was able to make some extra special pictures for us. My husband and I both had grandpas who passed away. Katie was able to photoshop them into some pictures of us with our grandmas. My entire family cried on Christmas when I gave the picture to my grandma. The smile on her face meant everything to me and I have Katie to thank for that. That picture alone has my heart so full. Book with Katie! It will be the best wedding decision you could make!

Katie VanderWal

Owner

I thrive on the human experience. I enjoy photographing stories in their organic form, curating a lifetime of memories for my clients. In addition to my love for people and the moments that make us human, I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming photographer who cares deeply for you, your partner, and your love story. I am a lover of ridiculous internet memes, “I Love Lucy,” my dogs, and my family. Enjoying life is essential to me. Travel, nature walks, and the smell of a campfire speak to my soul. Target is great, but you’ll usually find me at Vertigo Records searching for vintage vinyl!
